If it was a flex I would have said ”my Porsche”, not ”my Porsche Cayman” - Which is their cheaper model for people like me who can’t afford a 911
It’s a ~$55k car so the percentage for the wrap is not too far off. And the price is (immv) not entirely through the roof compared to other, new cars.
A leather case is about 5.5% of the price of an iPhone Pro. The wrapping was about 3.5% of the price of the car. Not that big of a difference.
For those who have Magsafe and leather cases, does the Magsafe put a bit circle around the back of the case after a few charges.
For what it's worth, I have a silicone case on my Mini and it hasn't put a mark on it as of yet, anyway.

And for anyone in the “Leather Case” thread that is interested in Leather Cases. Best Buy is selling the Sequoia Green and Wisteria Leather Case for $49.99.
Best Buy: Apple - iPhone 13 Pro Leather Cases
For me, I wanted brown or black. But this year the brown is almost orange and the twilight seems a bit off black so I’m going out of my comfort zone and trying out the green.

I use the Apple MagSafe charger that has the Apple Watch charger too and folds (I love this one - great for travel too) Nightly. I have the dark blue Apple leather case. No marks at all. Phone locks into the MagSafe charger nicely.
Welp, last leather case I had was dark blue for iPhone8 and I LOVED IT, and I'm still gonna buy the black one for 13 pro and see how it turns out... but I wonder if there's any official statement from Apple, why the 12/13 leather cases eat shiet? How they justify turning the awesome product it was before to this cheap crap show? We need Ive back on Apple stat... Has anyone done reviews of the 13's Apple leather cases? Are they the same crap as last years fiasco?

Not at all. The leather this year feels and smells better, like actual leather rather than chemicals.Welp, last leather case I had was dark blue for iPhone8 and I LOVED IT, and I'm still gonna buy the black one for 13 pro and see how it turns out... but I wonder if there's any official statement from Apple, why the 12/13 leather cases eat shiet?

Mine is a day old. I actually dont care about scuffs since that is pretty much the whole point of getting a case. But there it is and it actually makes me hopeful that this green case will patina well.
Note:
- Photo taken at window to emphasize the ring
- Apple MagSafe charger used
- Charges hotter than 12. Maybe heat is a factor?
- Green case looks awesome

God that looks terrible. I would be very upset if my $60 case looked like that after a day. I had that happen to one of my siliconce cases after less than a month. I returned the MagSafe charger and bought a really nice wireless charger from Native Union. I will never use a mag safe charger again.
I’ve been using the Belkin 3 in 1 charger for a few days now and my green leather case is good as new and doesn’t have that MagSafe imprint on it.
I got the golden brown, and just couldn’t stand how orange it was. Returned it and went for the green. I will say the green def feels and looks a lottttt more like “real leather” compared to the 12 saddle brown, and 13 golden brown. No complaints with the green which is just weird…
Can also confirm that this year's leather cases are a huge improvement over last year's. I loved how my 12 Pro's black leather looked and the slim profile but it just felt kindy tacky. It also didn't smell much like leather. I have the midnight case for my 13 Pro and it feels (and smells) amazing.
Yes not a fan of the new color sent my iPhone 13 pro case back. It’s more of a mustard color than brown.It looks like apple stopped making the saddle brown case for the 13? Its now "golden brown" and looks a lot lighter
Agreed, "golden brown" was nearly orange, exchanged it for "dark cherry" and like it a lot more 👍
I didn’t like it until I saw it in person. Gives me Autumnal vibes.

I agree. I have a lot of leather products and the Midnight and Golden Brown cases are supple and smell legit like other good quality pieces I have. I’ve owned leather cases every year since the iPhone 4.
Can confirm, one day with the Wisteria leather case for my 13 Pro, and there is a noticeable ring after charging with Magsafe.
Bittersweet, because although the ring is unsightly, the leather will hopefully patina much better than last years cases. Might have to break out the wired charger for now..

I’ve used the black leather case for my iPhone 12 Pro for almost a year and it’s been holding up really well. Only slight ring after the MagSafe charger (even though I’ve used MagSafe as my primary charger).
I’ve bought the Midnight leather case for my iPhone 13 Pro Max and it’s beautiful. I’ve noticed that it fits way tighter on my iPhone 13 Pro Max (it was kinda loose on my iPhone 12 Pro).

I just use the 20W Apple plug with lightning for my phone. I returned my MagSafe knowing about the rings, how it’s half as fast as plugged in with the 20W charger and how it charges hot
Does anyone know what Moment's leather cases are like, and how they compare against Apple's? Can't seem to find any reviews anywhere for past versions.
